  1. Even Chunky? Or Raisinettes (my all-time favorite movie theater snack)?
  2. Open wide for Chunky Yes! My absolute favorite, too. So much goodness for only five cents.
  3. Ditto the candy corn, by far. Yes -- horrid, vile, no redeeming features, etc., etc. Tootsie Rolls, meh, but I still like Tootsie Roll Pops. Little kids like them, too, because we'd hold out a bunch and give each one their choice of flavor. We're giving out half-sized Kit Kats this year, though.

    Keeping bottles stable

    It'll cut back on capacity, but I see that slider rails are available as an accessory. Can you also install additional shelves?
  5. Please see my PM. (eG guidelines insist on handling sales that way.)
  6. Thanks, JNW. Good idea, but I already have at least one offer, so I'd rather keep it pristine.
  7. Yes, if you're willing to cover the shipping cost, which will be at least US$55-60
  8. Having been mightily inspired by our CSO topics, last summer I bought one via Craigslist, from someone who apparently had barely used it. There was water in the tank, but absolutely no sign that any significant baking or broiling had taken place; the interior and pan were like new. The only evidence of any use at all was a very small scattering of bread crumbs. Well, the best laid plans and all that. It's now a year and change later, and I did the original owner one better by never using it at all. It looks really good next to our Breville, but it's time to send it on to its next home. Surely someone out there in eGulletland would appreciate it, even as a second unit. Or a third. I'd just like to get out of it what we paid, so I'll sell it for $100 plus the actual shipping cost. I have the original user guide and recipe book. I'll pack it very well, of course. Please send a PM if you're interested or if you have any questions. Thanks.

    Are you familiar with the Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel? There also are other resources on that Counter Culture Coffee website.

    Awful to Good

    Next time, remove the seeds before toasting. Then, after toasting the chilis, soak them for a while in very hot water, then discard the water. That should help with the bitterness.
  17. Or to at least minimize the effects of the greed, etc. by eating vegan as much as possible, or at least drastically reducing the amount of animal products you consume, which might allow you to eat more ethically raised local animals and animal products.

    Chili – Cook-Off 15

    Funny you should mention that. I haven't made a Bloody Mary in at least a year (I was going to save nine keystrokes and write BM, but I quickly realized what that would look like), but the topic came up just last week when someone told me about a mix they liked. (I never use one.) So no, I haven't tried it, but yes, it's on the agenda.

    Or "Triangle man, Triangle man/Triangle man hates particle man/They have a fight, Triangle wins/Triangle man" Or "Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding" Here's what they look (and sound) like: NPR Tiny Desk Concert At the Kennedy Center
  20. +1 -- although I usually use this for such a task (olives).

    You're On Fire -- They Might Be Giants' more-than-worthy successor to Peter Gabriel's classic dancing chickens. (Anyone else here a TMBG fan?)
  22. A cat (for non-culinary purposes only).
  23. lindag, how long to you want to keep them? blue_dolphin's idea is a good one. I've also simply stored them in a covered glass container in the fridge for at least a month, quite possibly longer. (It's been a while.)

    Chili – Cook-Off 15

    The chipotles in adobo would add some smoke flavor; I don't think I'd want any more. The anchos could add a chocolate undertone, so no need for extra chocolate, imo. A bit of Worcestershire might be nice, though. I've fallen in love with the Col. Pabst brand. (We're eloping to Vegas next week. Don't tell anyone.)
